This patch of the western Mojave Desert, about an hour north of Los Angeles, is desolate. There’s practically nothing for miles except for a few clusters of RVs and a tiny airfield with an old-school diner in the lobby. But it does have one attraction that draws in-the-know travelers — the Musical Road of Lancaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Locals are bemused by the quirky attraction but also a little proud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Simmons-Duffin, physicist\"]‘I remember I was in my parents’ kitchen, and the commercial came on the TV. I was intrigued because I’d had some experience with these rumble strips on the road before.’[/pullquote]“I think it’s kind of cool to have this whimsical thing out there,” said Colin Delaney, a librarian at Lancaster Library. “It’s just a fun little thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[My family] would make up spooky stories like if you went backwards on it, something would happen,” said a woman named Marlene, who works at Lancaster’s Museum of Art and History. “One time when my brother started driving, he did go backwards on it. It sounded a little odd, I’m not going to lie. It sounded a little scary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grooves have been cut in a quarter-mile stretch of highway next to some abandoned warehouses so that when cars drive over it, a tune rings out. It’s supposed to be the “William Tell Overture” by the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, probably best known as the theme to The Lone Ranger. Drivers have to go 55 mph to hear the song, which is recognizable, although the notes sound flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandra is a waitress at Foxy’s Landing & Restaurant, that old-school diner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Back in 2011, when I moved out here with my friends, they took me on that road,” she said. “We went over it, and it was pretty cool.” Then she added, “I feel like we could have a little better tone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This novelty was built by the car company Honda back in 2008 as part of a TV commercial for the Civic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/sJFGacuxcSM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, the distinctive sound didn’t go down well with some Lancaster residents. People who lived nearby said it was a scratchy sound, like a high-pitched drone or whining. One person said it was like an orchestra that’s constantly out of tune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honda originally built the road in a much more populated area on Avenue K in downtown Lancaster. However, \u003ca href=\"http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7627713.stm\">according to news reports at the time\u003c/a>, the noise complaints were so bad that the city spent $35,000 to remove and relocate the road to its current location outside of town.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How does it work?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Physicist David Simmons-Duffin remembers hearing the Honda commercial for the first time. He was in graduate school, home for the holidays, visiting his parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember I was in my parents’ kitchen, and the commercial came on the TV,” he said. “I was intrigued because I’d had some experience with these rumble strips on the road before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concept reminded Simmons-Duffin of a childhood memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was a kid, we used to drive to a park in Canada. On the roads, they would have these rumble strips before the stop signs, and my dad would experiment with trying to play music by going different speeds over the rumble strips. We would talk about how fast we needed to go to make different kinds of musical scales. It didn’t come out right a lot of the time, but sometimes he got the timing just right, and then we would all cheer in the car.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, sitting in his parents’ kitchen watching Honda try to replicate the effect in their commercial, Simmons-Duffin was disappointed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounded so terrible,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons-Duffin, who is now a professor at Caltech, decided to use his computer to make a simulation of the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was able to reproduce the terrible music from the commercial,” he said. “It was a neat challenge, using my own ears and a little bit of mathematics to do the detective work and figure out what had happened.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The musical road works on a basic principle: as a car drives over grooves cut into the asphalt, it vibrates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a very simple formula for the frequency that you get from the note when a car drives over a rumble strip,” Simmons-Duffin said. “It’s basically the velocity of the car divided by the distance between the grooves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in order to make a melody, the grooves in the road need to be precise distances apart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you listen to the notes in the musical road, you can kind of tell that none of the grooves are close enough together to make the right melody,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He speculates that the workers who cut the grooves didn’t factor in the width of the grooves themselves. Neither Honda nor the city of Lancaster responded to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though it’s not the perfect rendition of the “William Tell Overture,” it’s still a fun reason to visit Lancaster.

It’s hard to find an adult around, but there is one very important one at the center of it all: Tom Gaffey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaffey is the general manager, a job he’s held for 40 years. Born and raised in Petaluma, he first worked here when it still showed movies. He came back in 1983, as the theater was struggling to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I found was that the kids were using it for the damnedest projects. Their bands were coming in, rehearsing on the stage when they could, and the kids were kind of skating all over the building,” he said. “It turned out that the only people that were really using it and really showing any love were the younger generation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11953932\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/rs63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-kqed/\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11953932\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A partly bald man with a white beard stands on a darkened sidewalk and looks at the camera.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS63232_02242023_phoenixtheater-752-KQED-1920x1282.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phoenix Theater manager Tom Gaffey helped revitalize the spot as a place for teens in the community. \u003ccite>(Kori Suzuki/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gaffey took over the lease and almost immediately a music promoter offered him $1,000 to bring in the Wisconsin folk-punk band the Violent Femmes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were jumping off the stage and flying through the air and trying to beat up my staff.
